Wind Tunnel Test Techniques: Design and Use at Low and High Speeds with Statistical Engineering Applications provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic. Beginning with a brief history of wind tunnels and its types and uses, the book goes on to cover subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel design and construction, calibration, boundary corrections, flow quality assessment, pressure surveys, and dynamic testing. It also focuses on wind tunnel facilities, making it useful for both the designer and operator. Engineers and graduate students in aerospace, automotive and similar programs will find this book useful in their work with experimental aerodynamics, gas dynamics, facility design and performance. - Deals with a broad range of flow speeds in wind tunnels, from low speed to high speed - Provides a discussion of similarity laws as well as material on statistical analysis - Includes coverage on facility-to-facility and facility-to-CFD correlation - Presents advanced topics such as cryogenic wind tunnels, ground simulation in automotive testing, and propulsion testing

A brand-new edition of the classic guide on low-speed wind tunnel testing While great advances in theoretical and computational methods have been made in recent years, low-speed wind tunnel testing remains essential for obtaining the full range of data needed to guide detailed design decisions for many practical engineering problems. This long-awaited Third Edition of William H. Rae, Jr.'s landmark reference brings together essential information on all aspects of low-speed wind tunnel design, analysis, testing, and instrumentation in one easy-to-use resource. Written by authors who are among the most respected wind tunnel engineers in the world, this edition has been updated to address current topics and applications, and includes coverage of digital electronics, new instrumentation, video and photographic methods, pressure-sensitive paint, and liquid crystal-based measurement methods. The book is organized for quick access to topics of interest, and examines basic test techniques and objectives of modeling and testing aircraft designs in low-speed wind tunnels, as well as applications to fluid motion analysis, automobiles, marine vessels, buildings, bridges, and other structures subject to wind loading. Supplemented with real-world examples throughout, Low-Speed Wind Tunnel Testing, Third Edition is an indispensable resource for aerospace engineering students and professionals, engineers and researchers in the automotive industries, wind tunnel designers, architects, and others who need to get the most from low-speed wind tunnel technology and experiments in their work.

An open-loop low-speed wind tunnel is one of the easiest ways to study about aerodynamics for undergraduate studies. The objectives of this project are to propose a design with detail analysis, fabrication of a small scale open-loop low-speed wind tunnel and to validate the designed wind tunnel through performance testing with the existing instrumentations available in the laboratory. The wind tunnel was designed by considering the essential parts of the wind tunnel with the proper justifications before modelled with Computer Aided Design (CAD) and then tested using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). After obtaining the desired simulation result, the designed wind tunnel was fabricated and then followed by the test models. Then the wind tunnel undergoes the performance testing for validation and calibration. For the Ahmed Body flow pattern testing, the flow behaves just like the flow pattern tested in calibrated wind tunnel. For the case study testing, a cylinder model was used and the highest flow speed is 0.4317 m/s while the slowest flow speed is 0.1401 m/s. However for the case study experiment, the result obtained is not at its best condition as there is wake flow generated around the cylinder body and further improvement is required to obtain the undoubtedly results.

The most important aerodynamical qualities that should be aimed at in wind tunnel design, are as follows: 1) constant and parallel direction of flow; 2) uniform velocity across all sections; 3) absence of turbulent motion; 4) constant velocity of flow. The above-mentioned qualities are all realized in a high degree in the Gottingen type of wind tunnel, with a parallel portion before the working section, the cross section of which is steadily reduced. It is shown in what follows, that the system can be applied to other wind tunnels, such as the N.P.L. or Eiffel type.
